l WINDOW-SCREEN ATTACHMENT.

Application filed may 16,

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Lnoronn KUMMERER, a citizenof the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Window'- Screen Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in mountings for window screens and has for its primary object the provision of means for securing a pair of corners of a screen to a window frame so that the screen may be swung outwardly of the frame to facilitate cleaning and for any other purpose when desired.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a mounting for window screens of the above stated character which will be simple, durable and, efficient, and which may be manufactured and sold ate comparatively low cost.

With these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevation illustrating a window screen secured to a window frame with my invention,

Figure 2 is an end view illustrating the same,

Figure 3 is a detail view illustrating one of the window screen plates,

Figure 4 is a perspective view illustrating one of the window frame plates.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a window frame having associated therewith a window screen 2 of any well known construction and size and to which my invention is applied. Triangular shaped plates 3 have formed. upon their angularly related edges flanges 4 which engage the angularly related edges of the screen frame at a pair of corners of the latter and are secured thereto by screws the latter to be swung outwardly of theframe for. the purpose of cleaning the window or anything else that may be desirable. My invention can be applied to a half-size window screen or to a whole-size one, that is a window screen closing the entire window frame and the free end of the window screen may be secured to the window frame through the medium of a hook and eye 12 if desired.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

A mounting for window screens and the like, the same comprising an upstanding plate and a lateral plate integral with each other and to be secured to a corner of the screen, said upstanding plate having an opening therein immediately below the lateral plate, a pintle to extend into said opening, a plate from which said pintle projects arranged parallel with the upstanding plate and adapted to be secured to a frame, said pintle being arranged near the upper edge of said plate, and the last mentioned plate adapted to be attached at a distance from and below its pintle whereby the application of the fastening means may be made while the pintle is in said opening and the screen is in open position.

In testimony whereof I, aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
